Hubs spent friday morning at the hospital doing the preop assessment thing. As soon as he walked in the door of the doc doing his physical the guy asked him how long he'd had that lump in his neck. Lump in neck?? Umm that kinda got missed. So now they've gotta get an ultrasound of this lump PDQ and possibly a biopsy as it could give them the diagnosis they have been looking for. The brain surgery may not be necessary and it's less than two weeks away.
Sarcoidosis was one of the last things the docs came up with as a possible diagnosis. They could not confirm this through a lung biospy etc. The lump hubby has in his neck could be a sarcoid lump. I've read about sarcoidosis though and he doesn't seem typical of someone with the disease... not from the little i've ready anyway. On the other hand sarcoidosis does seem to be a catch all phrase for unexplained inflammatory responses. He goes for the ultrasound on tuesday and depending on whether it is solid or not they may biopsy it.
